Feta and green olive checkerboard with clarified Bloody Mary
Other 25 Mins Prep
- To make the bloody Mary put the tomatoes, 1 lemon, 2 celery stalks, tomato juice, Worcestershire sauce, tabasco, a pinch of pepper and pickle juice in a blender and blitz until smooth.
- Line a fine-mesh sieve with a clean cheesecloth. Place the sieve over a large bowl. Pass the blended mixture through the sieve then place in the fridge for 1 hour, or until the liquid is completely clear. Chill until needed.
- Cube the feta, making sure they are about the same size as the olives. Arrange the feta and olives in a checkerboard pattern on a flat serving dish. Drizzle over the olive and sprinkle over the oregano and chilli flakes. Finely grate a lemon over. Chill until ready to serve.
- When ready to serve, cut the lemon in half and rub it around the rims of 4 glasses. Dip these in chilli flakes, then pour in the bloody Mary mixture. Halve the celery stalks and place one in each glass before serving.
